Questions about Nano sealant
What is a nano sealant?
Nano sealant is an umbrella term for protection products using very small functional structures or particles. The actual product chemistry is what matters.
What does a nano sealant provide?
Depending on the system, it supports hydrophobicity, surface smoothness and dirt repellency. Performance and suitability vary substantially between products.
How long does a nano sealant last?
Durability depends on product, preparation, application, use and maintenance. A universal number of months is not reliable for every system.
How is a nano sealant applied?
Usually as a thin layer on a clean, prepared surface, then levelled or cured according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Is a nano sealant harder than a ceramic coating?
The term nano does not define a standard hardness class. A comparison is meaningful only between specific products, layer systems and test conditions.
